Default help!

this has been happening for a while now and i CAN NOT figure out what is wrong with my car.

yesterday i drove to the store and parked my car, leaving it on. about 30 seconds later the engine bogs down, shakes at VERY low rpms, and then stalls out completely. i let it sit for a minute, tried to restart it, and its stalls again.

restarted the car again, and threw it in to drive to park in a parking space..... engine would rev but no movement.

let it sit for 15 minutes and now its fine.

my tranny is already slipping, so i dont know if it has anything to do with that, but i dont think that would make the car stall, or would it?

thanks.

EDIT: my guys... its a 95 taurus. auto trans. 3.0L v6
